Recommended intake is a maximum intake of 2 grams per day
Ideal intake is a maximum intake of 0 grams per day
Doctors say to limit the amount of trans fats
Physical Form:
Liquid at room temperature
Synergism and Inhibitors:
To get Trans Fats you can eat: doughnuts, cookies, crackers, potato chips, some salad dressing and anything food that is made or cooked in hydrogenated oil
There are no foods to kill the Trans Fats once you have eaten it, you have to exercise and work it off
To limit the amount of Trans in your body you can eat healthy foods such as: raw or cooked vegetables or fruits, non-fatty proteins and milk products (Few milk products)
Over consumption:
Can lead to heart attack or heart disease
Raises amount of LDL (Low density lipoprotein) Cholesterol or the 'Bad Cholesterol' in blood
Leads to obesity and other health issues
Good Sources For Trans Fats:
Any fast food or processed food
Any foods cooked or made with hydrogenated oil
Examples: Cookies, cakes, doughnuts, potato chips, some salad dressings
Most fruit and vegetable oils
Any foods that are cheap with a long shelf life
Three Interesting Facts:
Improves flavor, texture and freshness of many foods
It is illegal to not show the amount of trans fats that are in the food object on either the package or a website (Such as the McDonald website)
Natural Trans Fats are not as bad for your health
Hydrogenation:
In trans fats it is in hydrogenated oils and other types of oils
Examples: Vegetable oils, shortening and butter
Too much Trans Fats hydrogenation can lead to obesity, diabetes and [[@#|high cholesterol]]
Saturated fats
What are saturated fats?
- saturated fats are the ‘solid’ fats in your diet
- is one of the 2 main categories of fats that appear in foods
- Also know as “saturated fatty acids”
Physical form?
- Solid at room temperature
Examples
- come from animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs
- meats. whole dairy products like milk, cheese, cream, ice cream
- plant foods (tropical oils)
Is it good for you?
- No
- Increases chances of getting heart disease
- Increases [[@#|[[@#|cholesterol levels]]]] in the blood
- A diet high in saturated fat increases the risk of hardening arteries
Use in the body
- Used to build “bad” cholesterol
- Recommended daily intake is 20 g
- Saturated fats should account fro no more than 9% of an adults daily calorie intake
Polyunsaturated fats
What are they?
-A type of healthier dietary fats.
Physical Form? (Solid or liquid in room temperature.)
-Foods that are made mostly up of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.
Which kind is better?
-A certain type of polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 fatty acids) May be especially beneficial to heart.
- Omega-3 is found in some types of fatty fish and appears to decrease the risk of coronary artery disease.
-Omega-3 also may help protect you against irregular heartbeats and lower blood pressure levels.
Examples?
(Ex. Canola oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and corn oil.)
Where is it most found?
-Mostly found in plant-based foods and oils.
-If you eat foods rich in polyunsaturated fats, it is known to improve blood cholesterol levels, which decreases the chance of heart disease.
-Helps decrease risk of type 2 diabetes
What is hydrogenation?
Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to carbon chain. This process creates the trans fatty acids in the carbon chain.
Health Concerns?
Omega-6 fatty acid another polyunsaturated fat may cause inflammation.
Recommended Daily Intake:
No more then 30% of total daily caloric intake of which no more then 10%of saturated and trans fats.

Monounsaturated fats are fatty acids that have one double bond in the fatty acid chain, with all of the remaining carbon atoms in the chain being single-bonded.
They remain a liquid when stored at room temperature, but will become solid if chilled.
Monounsaturated fats can be found in olive oil, avocado oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil and peanut butter.
Monounsaturated fats are the healthiest of all the fats. In fact, they are necessary to the diet.
The recommended daily intake for monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats combined is no more 20% of your daily calorie intake.
Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fat. It makes the product thicker and easier to cook with, but a lot worse for you.
Monounsaturated fats help your body absorb nutrients and regulate bodily functions.
A deficiency of monounsaturated fats can increase the risk of high blood level, cholesterol and strokes.
Monounsaturated fats help weight loss and lower the risk of breast cancer.
